AMERICAN  INDIANS  AND  THE  GOSPEL 

BY  JOHN  W.  CLARK,  NEW  YORK 
Executive  Secretary  of  The  National  Indian  Association 


HE  Indian  population 
of  the  United  States, 

exclusive  of  Alaska, 
on  June  30,  1912,  was 
reported  by  the  Com- 
missioner of  Indian 
Affairs  to  be  327,425,  of  whom 
300,930  were  under  Federal  super- 

vision. In  the  same  report  we  are 
told  that : 

Of  184,784  Indians  reported  upon, 

90,341  speak  the  English  language, 
and  54,843  read  and  write  the 
English  language. 

Of  193,609  Indians  reported  upon, 

149,721  wear  modern  attire. 

Of  186,398  Indians  reported  upon, 

78,543  are  citizens  of  the  United 
States. 

Much  is  being  done  to-day  by  Gov- 
ernment and  by  voluntary  agencies  to 
educate  the  Indians,  to  teach  them  the 
laws  of  health  and  the  principles  of 
sanitation  and  to  train  them  in  habits 
of  industry.  Some  voluntary  organi- 
zations also  are  looking  after  the 
natural  and  political  rights  of  the 


Indians.  All  such  work  is  important 
and  there  is  need  of  it,  but  most  im- 
portant is  the  work  of  Christian 
missions  carried  on  by  various  boards 
and  societies.  The  present  condi- 
tion of  the  Indians  presents  a favor- 
able opportunity  for  an  increase  of 
such  work. 

For  the  Indian  this  is  a period 
of  transition  from  the  old  to  a 
new  order  of  things.  The  reservation 
system  and  tribal  organizations  are 
rapidly  giving  place  to  the  individual 
ownership  of  land.  It  is  often  a diffi- 
cult thing  for  the  Indian  to  adapt 
himself  to  the  new  order,  and  just 
now  when  old  tribal  props  and  re- 
straints are  being  removed  he  needs 
help  to  enable  him  to  hold  his  own  as 
a man  among  other  men.  The  Chris- 
tion  missionary  better  than  any  one 
else  can  give  that  help,  for  he  has  a 
larger  opportunity  than  any  one  else 
to  reach  the  home  of  the  Indian  and 
influence  him  to  live  a pure  life,  both 
physically  and  morally.  Only  as  the 


AMERICAN  INDIANS  AND  THE  GOSPEL 


Indian  is  brought  under  the  power  of 
the  Gospel  of  Christ  is  he  adequately 
littetl  to  meet  these  changing  condi- 
tions of  his  life  and  to  get  from  our 
civilization  the  best  it  has  to  give  him. 

Early  Missions 

The  history  of  Indian  missions 
shows  that  in  the  early  days  of 
missionary  effort  among  them,  the 
Indians  welcomed  Christian  teaching 


and  sought  to  transmit  the  blessings 
of  the  Christian  religion  to  their 
children.  Following  those  early  suc- 
cesses on  the  mission  field,  however, 
there  came  a time  when  the  bright 
promises  of  a rich  and  abundant 
harvest  were  blasted  by  adverse 
events.  During  the  latter  part  of  the 
eighteenth  century  the  work  of  the 
Christian  missionaries  was  almost 
fatally  interrupted  by  political  strug- 
gles and  the  War  of  the  Revolution. 
Yet  even  then  efforts  for  the  evange- 


lization of  the  Indians  were  not 
wholly  abandoned.  A few  decades 
later  began  the  westward  march  of 
the  white  man,  the  consequent 
“Indian  wars,”  and  the  forced  re- 
moval of  the  tribes  from  territory 
formerly  occupied  by  them  to  tracts 
of  land  set  apart  for  their  use  by  the 
government.  For  a long  time  these 
events  interfered  with  the  success- 
ful prosecution  of  Indian  mission 


work.  Under  the  system  of  ward- 
ship created  by  the  government  the 
Indian’s  spirit  of  independence  was 
largely  broken ; treaties  made  with 
various  tribes  were  ruthlessly  violated 
by  our  nation,  and  the  red  man  be- 
came suspicious  of  the  white  man. 
But  nothwithstanding  the  dark  chap- 
ters in  the  history  of  our  dealings 
with  the  Indian,  the  records  of  Chris- 
tian missions  prove  that  he  responds 
to  Christian  teaching.  To-day  the 
attitude  of  the  Indian  race,  as  a 


THE  MISSIONARY  REVIEW  OF  THE  WORLD 


whole,  toward  the  white  race  is 
friendly,  and  this  is  due  for  the  most 
part  to  the  faithful  and  patient  work 
of  Christian  missionaries. 

Protestant  mission  work  for  the 
Indians  may  be  said  to  have  begun  in 
1636  when  Roger  Williams,  the  Bap- 
tist preacher,  started  his  purely  per- 
sonal work  among  the  Pequots  and 
Narragansetts  and  the  tribes  in 
Rhode  Island.  Ten  years  later  the 


had  devoted  its  efforts  to  secure  legal 
recognition  and  protection  for  In- 
dians, began  missionary  work.  This 
work  is  somewhat  unique  in  character 
and  needs  a word  of  explanation. 
The  policy  of  the  association  is  to  do 
pioneer  work  among  unevangelized 
tribes.  After  opening  a mission  sta- 
tion and  meeting  the  expenses  of 
erecting  the  needed  buildings,  such 
station  with  the  property  gathered  is 


THE  GOOD  SAUARIT.\N  HOSPITAL  FOR  N.AVAJOS  AT  INDIAN  WELLS,  ARIZONA 
This  hospital  was  erected  by  the  National  Indian  Association 


work  of  Williams  was  extended  by  the 
Congregational  missionaries  Mayhew 
and  Eliot.  In  1741  the  Lutherans, 
the  Society  of  Friends,  the  Protest- 
ant Episcopal  Church,  the  Moravians 
and  the  Presbyterian  Church  had 
entered  the  field.  Organized  work 
by  the  Baptists  began  in  1801.  This 
was  soon  followed  by  organized 
work  of  the  Congregationalists,  Meth- 
odists and  Mennonites. 

Precent-Day  Mi*«ions 

In  1884  The  National  Indian  Asso- 
ciation, an  undenominational  organi- 
zation which  for  five  years  previously 


given  to  one  of  the  Protestant  denomi- 
national mission  boards  on  its  under- 
taking a continuance  of  the  work. 
The  Association’s  most  recent  enter- 
prise is  the  erection  and  equipment  of 
a hospital  and  dispensary  in  connec- 
tion with  its  mission  to  the  Navajo 
Indians  in  Arizona. 

In  1895  the  Women’s  Committee  of 
the  Board  of  Domestic  Missions  of 
the  Reformed  Church  of  America 
began  work  at  Colony,  Oklahoma, 
and  has  since  entered  other  Indian 
fields.  Out  of  the  work  at  Colony 
under  the  late  Dr.  W.  C.  Roe  and  his 
wife,  there  has  grown  up  a philan- 


AMERICAN  INDIANS  AND  THE  GOSPEL 


thropic  enterprise  for  the  benefit 
of  the  Indians  known  as  “Mohonk 
Lodge,”  with  “home”  and  “indus- 
trial” departments. 

A forward  step  in  Indian  mission 
work  of  recent  years  was  the  appoint- 
ment of  an  “Indian  Committee”  by 
the  Home  Missions  Council  of  the 
Protestant  mission  boards.  This 
committee  works  for  a practical 
cooperation  by  the  Protestant  forces 
in  the  division  of  mission  fields,  the 
gathering  of  data  concerning  neg- 
lected tribes  of  Indians  and  the  locat- 
ing of  new  mission  stations.  The 
results  of  this  work  are  seen  in  the 
avoidance  of  an  overlapping  of  work, 
a better  understanding  of  the  needs 
of  the  great  field,  and  a deepening  of 
interest  and  an  increase  of  effort  in 
Indian  work  among  the  various 
denominations.  The  committee  under- 
took a tabulation  of  statistics  of  all 
the  evangelical  Church  missions  on 
the  Indian  field,  and  the  following 
tabie  gives  a summary  of  the  result. 
These  statistics  were  gathered  in 
1910  and  tho  incomplete  they  are  the 
latest  to  be  tabulated  and  show 
approximately  the  extent  of  the  work 
of  the  Piotestant  forces  to-day.  Dur- 
ing the  past  year  some  boards  have 
reported  an  increase  in  the  number  of 
their  mission  stations  or  in  their 
working  forces. 

Early  in  the  history  of  our  country 
the  Roman  Catholic  Chvmch  entered 


the  Indian  mission  field  and  has  con- 
ducted missions  among  various  tribes. 
According  to  statistics  given  by  the 
Rev.  William  Hughes,  in  an  address 
at  the  1912  Mohonk  Indian  Confer- 
ence, the  Indian  work  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  Church  is  carried  on  at  137 
centers,  and  the  number  of  Roman 
Catholic  Indians  is  “estimated  at 
about  100,000,”*  and  this  Church  has 
55  boarding  and  8 day  schools. 

The  Young  Men’s  and  the  Young 
Women’s  Christian  Associations  are 
engaged  in  an  important  work  among 
the  pupils  in  the  various  Government 
Indian  schools  and  among  the  re- 
turnevd  students  on  the  Indian  reser- 
vations. 

Among  the  humanitarian  enter- 
prises carried  on  by  the  mission 
boards  and  other  voluntary  agencies 
none  are  more  fruitful  in  beneficent 
results  than  their  medical  and  hospi- 
tal work. 

The  latest  report  of  the  Commis- 
sioner of  Indian  Affairs  gives  the 
statistics  relating  to  the  Indian  schol- 
astic population.  From  those  statis- 
tics the  summary  on  page  834  is  taken. 

School  facilities  are  therefore 
needed  for  20,000  Indian  children  of 
school  age  on  the  reservations.  A 


‘This  is  an  estimate.  Mr.  Hughes’  words  are 
quoted.  In  1910,  Dr.  Ketcham  claimed  for  the 
Roman  Catholic  Church  the  same  number  of 
Indians,  but  he  stated  that  of  this  number  only 
40,000  were  “good  Catholics.”

•There  were  72,603  Indian  children  of  school  age  in  1912.  7,510  were  ineligible  for  school  attendance 

because  of  illness,  deformity,  etc. 


great  need  is  presented  here  and  a 
large  opportunity  for  an  increase  in 
the  number  of  mission  boarding  and 
day  schools.  One  weak  feature  of 
Protestant  mission  work  among  the 
Indians  is  the  fewness  of  such  schools. 
There  is  great  need  for  the  training 
of  Indian  young  people  in  Christian 
character,  and  that  training  should 
be  given  in  mission  schools  in  con- 
nection with  the  various  mission  sta- 
tions. 

The  work  outlined  above  reveals  a 
large  amount  of  missionary  effort, 
and  doubtless  many  people  have  the 
impression  that  all  the  Indians  in  our 
land  are  evangelized.  Such  is  not 
the  case,  for  the  statistics  gathered  in 
1910  by  the  Indian  Committee,  re- 
ferred to,  showed  approximately 
54,000  Indians  among  whom  no 
Christian  missionary  work  is  being 
conducted.  These  Indians  were 
found  to  be  in  tribes  and  separated 
parts  of  tribes  resident  in  15  different 
States,  the  largest  groups  being  in 
Arizona,  New  Mexico  and  California. 
These  figures  indicate  an  opportunity 
for  enlarged  missionary  effort  in  a 
field  right  at  our  very  doors.  The 
obligation  to  win  the  allegiance  of 


these  native  Americans  to  Christ  is 
one  which  every  American  Christian 
should  feel  pressing  upon  him. 

The  work  of  the  Christian  mission- 
ary among  the  Indians  is  often  a 
very  difficult  one.  Pagan  supersti- 
tion and  practises  have  a deep  and 
powerful  hold  upon  Indian  life.  Add 
to  these  the  vices  of  intemperance 
and  gambling  for  which  the  white 
man  is  largely  responsible,  and  the 
encouragement  given  by  many  well- 
meaning,  but,  in  my  opinion,  mis- 
taken, people  to  the  old-time  Indian 
dances  because  of  the  picturesque 
features  of  some  of  them,  and  the 
whole  forms  a barrier  that  is  not 
easily  broken  down.  Unlimited  pa- 
tience, loving  sympathy,  much  tact 
and  a practical  workable  knowledge 
of  some  industrial  pursuit  suitable  to 
the  particular  environment  of  the 
Indians  among  whom  they  are 
located,  are  requisites  for  successful 
work  by  the  missionaries.  Does  the 
work  pay?  There  are  no  brighter 
Christian  characters  anywhere  than 
can  be  found  among  Indian  converts, 
and  the  whole  story  of  Indian  mis- 
sions is  filled  with  instances  of  the 
transforming  power  of  the  Gospel  of

Christ  in  individual  and  communal 
life.  Under  the  influence  of  the 
Gospel  of  Christ,  Indian  young  men 
and  women  have  taken  their  stand 
upon  the  platform  of  human  brother- 
hood and  worked  for  the  uplift  of 
others,  seeking  to  help  all  who  needed 
their  aid,  irrespective  of  race  or  color. 
An  illustration  of  this  is  seen  in  the 
life  of  Henry  Roe  Cloud,  a Winne- 
bago, who  was  graduated  from  Yale 
University  in  the  class  of  1910. 
When  he  entered  the  university  he 
became  interested  in  Y.  M.  C.  A. 


work  and  was  especially  active  in  the 
work  at  Yale  Hall,  the  downtown 
mission  of  the  students.  He  was  able 
to  interest  many  of  his  classmates  as 
well  as  others  in  mission  work  among 
the  people  of  races  other  than  his 
own.  He  realizes  that  the  hope  for 
his  own  people  lies  in  their  being 
brought  into  a personal  experience  of 
the  power  of  the  Gospel  of  Christ. 
In  an  address  at  Lake  Mohonk,  two 
years  ago,  he  said : 

“It  is  very  important  to  remember 
that  the  salvation  of  the  Indian  must

be  from  the  inside.  I should  not  be 
true  to  the  deepest  convictions  of  my 
soul  if  I did  not  say  this.  I can  well 
remember  a dark  night  years  ago 
when  a missionary  came  to  me  and 
urged  me  to  seek  the  friendship  of 
the  strong  Son  of  God  and  asked  me 
to  give  Him  my  allegiance.  That  night 
I started  to  follow  Christ,  and  His 
power  has  sustained  me  till  this  hour. 
There  is  a splendid  opportunity  offered 
now  for  Christian  people  to  guide 
the  Indian  into  good  citizenship,  self- 
respect,  and  fine  character.  The  time 


when  the  government  lets  go  of  the 
Indian  and  he  has  to  stand  face  to 
face  with  modern  life  and  all  its 
problems  and  perplexities,  is  a mo- 
ment of  great  opportunity  for  the 
Christian  people  of  this  nation.  Now 
on  the  reservations  the  Indians  are 
scattering  about  like  cotton  tails 
among  the  bushes.  Now  is  the  time 
to  go  after  the  Indian  and  strengthen 
him  b}’  the  power  of  the  Gospel.”

work  of  The  National  Indian 

* Association  to  aid  in  civilization, 
teach  industry  and  give  religions  in- 
struction to  the  Indians  of  our  coun- 
try began  in  1879.  The  work  was 
fully  organized  in  1881  and  the  As- 
sociation incorporated  in  1887.  The 
activities  of  the  Association  include: 

Religious  Work 

^Direct  undenominational  teaching 
of  religious  truths  in  unevangelized 
tribes.  This  pioneer  missionary  work 
has  been  done  in  more  than  fifty  tribes, 
or  separated  parts  of  tribes. 

Educational  and  Humanitarian 
Work 

Helping  to  right  political  wrongs; 
gathering  of  Indian  children  into 
schools ; stimulating  and  preparing 
capable  Indians  for  wise  leadership 
among  their  people;  loans  of  money 
to  Indians  to  enable  them  to  build 
houses,  purchase  implements  of  labor 
or  for  stock  needed  to  begin  some  use- 
ful and  paying  industry. 

Industrial  Work 

Various  industries  have  been  suc- 
cessfully introduced  at  the  Associa- 
tion’s mission  stations,  such  as  cattle 
raising,  poultry  raising,  dairy  produce, 
and  agriculture. 

Medical  Work 

Outdoor  medical  treatment  in  the 
camps  and  at  the  dispensary ; the 
teaching  of  the  principles  of  sanita- 


tion and  the  proper  care  of  the  sick 
in  Indian  homes ; medical  and  surgical 
treatment  and  nursing  care  in  the  As- 
sociation’s hospital  wards  where  not 
alone  bodily  suffering  is  relieved,  but 
where  the  patients  also  learn  of  the 
Great  Physician  whose  “touch  hath 
still  its  ancient  power”  to  cleanse  the 
heart  and  transform  the  life. 

Since  the  beginning  of  the  Associa- 
tion’s medical  work  for  the  Navajo 
Indians  in  Arizona  in  September, 

1912,  to  the  present  date,  October  i, 

1913,  196  Indians  have  been  treated 
in  the  camps,  and  a total  of  784  treat- 
ments given  them.  The  Good  Samari- 
tan Hospital  at  Indian  Wells,  Arizona, 
with  fully  equipped  dispensary  and 
separate  wards  and  outside  sleeping 
porches  for  men  and  women,  was 
opened  in  April,  1913,  and  is  called  by 
the  Navajos  Kin-bi-jo-ba-i  (The 
house  in  which  they  are  kind).  Dur- 
ing the  six  months  since  its  opening, 
377  Indians  have  received  754  treat- 
ments at  the  dispensary,  and  there 
have  been  66  cases  in  the  hospital 
wards.  A large  proportion  of  those 
treated  were  trachoma  cases,  many  of 
them  severe  and  critical.  Several  other 
cases  were  of  a grave  nature  resulting 
from  neglected  wounds  and  broken 
and  fractured  limbs.  This  medical 
work  is  meeting  a great  need  and  do- 
ing much  to  break  the  influence  of  the 
medicine  men  over  the  Navajos, 
among  whom  superstition  still 
abounds.
